A fourth straight loss, and a record now two games below .500 on the year, brought the 2012 comparisons bubbling to the top for Auburn.

That train wreck of a season a decade ago has been recalled more often this fall than anyone on the Plains would have preferred, yet as the Tigers’ 2022 campaign spirals out of control under second-year coach Bryan Harsin, the comparisons to that wretched 3-9 season are hard to ignore. During Saturday’s 41-27 loss to Arkansas, they were aplenty. Auburn allowed its most 40-point games in a season ever, surpassing the three from 2012. The Tigers gave up 200-plus rushing yards in three straight games for the first time since 2012. The team suffered its second double-digit home loss in the same season for the first time since 2012.

Double-digit loss to Arkansas leaves Auburn feeling deflated

The loss — the Tigers first at home against the Razorbacks since 2012 — also dropped Auburn two games below .500 in a season for the first time in a decade. The Tigers have now lost their last game against every other SEC West team for the first time since, you guessed it, 2012.

That’s far from where the comparisons end. Looking at Auburn’s season-long stats, the Tigers are having their worst season since 2012 in eight key areas, so far, with a month remaining in their regular-season slate.

Auburn’s pass efficiency (118.17) is its worst since 2012, when it finished the year with a 117.21 rating. Its scoring offense (22.9 points per game) is the lowest in a decade, when it averaged 18.67 points per game. Auburn is allowing more sacks per game (2.62) than at any point in the last decade (3.08 per game in 2012). Defensively, the Tigers are allowing more points per game (29.9) than any season since 2012 (28.33), and its run defense (214.6 yards per game) is the worst since 2012 too (197.58 yards per game).

The Tigers’ red-zone defense has also hit a low, allowing opponents to score on 91.4 percent of trips inside the 20-yard line. That’s the worst since 2012 (84 percent). Auburn’s kickoff return average (14.5 yards) is also the program’s worst in the last decade. Then there’s the turnover margin (minus-10 on the year, so far, with minus-1.25 per game), which is the worst since the team finished 2012 with a minus-12 margin (minus-1.00 per game).

Those aren’t marks you want to be matching if you’re Auburn, yet that’s where the program finds itself at this point in Harsin’s second season.

Here’s a look at those numbers, as well as where Auburn ranks nationally and in the SEC in several other statistical categories this season:
